ford/chevy/jeep spindles

[colman]

i need a set of spindles that are 6 bolt to convert my waggy front d44 from 6 lug to 5x5.5. i was told that 74-77 jeep d44 will work. i have a set of 79 rotors that can go with the deal if that helps as well as the spindles that i have that work with said rotors. any help anyone?
i also have seen that 77 and earlear ford spindles as well as chevy. anyone have any

[AggieTJ2007]

just redrill them

[colman]

what's that gonna run me

[Reckless]

Cheaper than what your wanting to do. prob bout 10 buck a rotor if that

[robertf03]

You'd be better off turning the OD down on the spindle rather than drilling the hub and rotor. I think Matt Conley had his redrilled at Sunray, I don't know what he paid but I know it wasn't 10 bucks.

[colman]

any one have a ford spindle that i could barrow to turn mine down so they match up?

[william_ace]

yeah i've got one off of a 78 d44

[colman]

can i barrow it, or if you have 2 what do you want for them

[william_ace]

yeah i have 2 but i wanna keep the axle together
you can borrow it whenever as long as i get it back. just pm me for directions if you want

[robertf03]

you do know that ford spindles are shorter and 5 bolt instead of 6, right? outside axle shafts won't work.


buy the correct bearing, measure the ID and have vilas turn the spindles down

[stx4wheeler]

borrow?

...

[colman]

i needed to barrow them to see if they are what i want and he ended up having some from a bronco that i got that look like they are gonna work. also got slotted drilled rotors to go with them. the spindles are 6 hole like the waggy not 5 fyi

[agjohn02]

Doh!

[colman]

the ford spindles are 1/4 inch longer. i'm going to assume that is a big deal. is it or can i make it work

[DRAGOONRANCH]

John, what the hell is she holding?

[robertf03]

clydes weener

[agjohn02]

[Sharpe]

I have one of those in the sweet 16 variety.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I meant against his belly...

[Shaggy]

ford ttb dana 44 spindles are 6 bolt, i believe i have a set or three i dont need

[colman]

i got a set from along with matching drilled and slotted rotors. thanks thou. i assume that they will work and i will find out as soon as i get my shaft shortened and the housing narrowed
